Signed and Sealed Class of ’54 CUSS hlStORV As we near the end of our high school careers, we begin to wish we were back in the seventh grade again. At the close of school in the sixth grade, Donald Sutherland left us when his father’s tractor tipped over. In the seventh grade, we were divided into two homerooms, Mrs. Margaret Joyce’s and Mrs. Ethel Gath’s. Although we had our ups and downs in that year, it was a happy one. In our eighth grade, Mr. Carlyle Carmody was our homeroom teacher. Although we were in the same homeroom, the class was divided. Since Mrs. Ethel Gath left, we had Mrs. Mary Baker from Wellsville as our English teacher. Ronald Sweet, Irene Hulburt, Darrell Brown, Raymond Halsey, and Edgar Silsby left that year making the class somewhat smaller. During that year, Charlotte Case was welcomed to our eighth grade class. In our freshman year, Mrs. Marie McFadden was our homeroom teacher. Mary Button, Clair Van-Schaick, and Virginia Kibbe were Welcomed by our ninth grade class. Francis Hann, John Atwell, William Elster, and Richard Clark left the freshmen. In June of our freshman year, Ann Wood left to attend school in Canisteo. In our sophomore year, Donald Kuzak joined our class, but left us soon. David McHenry entered our class, and Irene Hurlburt was welcomed back by her old classmates. Douglas Wheaton also left for the Marines.

It seems Gerald Green did the most blushing that year when he was selected to read the love scenes from the original plays which were written for class presentation. During Christmas vacation that year Mrs. Mary Dougherty left us to join her husband. Mrs. Bertha Miller took her place as Home Economics teacher. Betty Ann Kemp, Ruth Atwell, Sandra Skuse, and Shirley Tidd all took agriculture from Mr. Glenn Bronson that year while Anna Marie Joyce, Mimsi Briggs, and Carol Jean Nye were cheerleaders. Ted Smith, Charles Lehman, Jack Rosintoski, Gerald Green and George Wheeler played Junior Varsity while Leslie Monahan and Charles Davis played Varsity. Charles Davis was president of the seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh grade homerooms. Mimsi Briggs was president during the sophomore year. Ted Smith was vice-president of his ninth, tenth and eleventh grade homerooms. In the ninth grade Mary Ann Joyce was class secretary and Carol Jean Nye was secretary in the tenth grade. Mimsi Briggs was treasurer in our freshman year and Carol Jean Nye handled the money during our sophomore year. Student Council representatives for our Freshman year were Douglas Wheaton and Charles Davis. In our sophomore year Leslie Monahan represented us. Gerald Green represented us last year and Charles Davis represents us this year. When we entered our junior year we found that Ruth Atwell, Catherine Kemp, and Irene Hurlburt were no longer with us. WandaThorp, Martin Halbert and Clair VanSchoick left us before the year was over. What a crazy bunch we were last year and what odd odors we created in the chemistry laboratory, when we weren’t blowing things up, that is. Charles Davis was president; Ted Smith, vice-president; James Grossman, treasurer; and Leslie Monahan was secretary. Our junior play “Who Killed Aunt Carolyn was a big success. Mary Jane Sackett, Mimsi Briggs, Sandra Skuse, Betty Ann Kemp, Mary Ann Joyce, Carol Jean Nye, Millie Miles and Virginia Kibbe were the actresses whileCharles Davis, Ted Smith, Gerald Green, and Dale Kenyon were the actors. The most cheerful day of our junior year was the day we picked out our class rings. As we entered our Senior year at A.C.S. we discovered that David McHenry and Shirley Tidd had left us. Later in the first semester James Yannie joined the Navy and Jack Rosintoski transferred to Belmont and later joined the Army. Evan Dolan returned to A.C.S. as a Senior this year but joined the Air Force at the close of the first semester. This year Ted Smith is our president, Mary Ann Joyce our vice-president, Mary Jane Sackett our treasurer, Mimsi Briggs our Secretary and Dale Kenyon our class historian. We cannot say that our Senior year has been too disappointing, for we have worked together, argued, had fun and planned for that night when Mr. Kessler hands each of us our diplomas. Roger Theetge, Mary Ann Joyce, James Padden and James Mickle all have cars to drive this year. Ted Smith, our president, has taken on a great deal of responsibility as a class officer. Mary Ann Joyce has also worked extra hard. Mimsi Briggs is still gening the A’s In English, while Betty Ann Kemp is still a little on the shy side. Some girls find it difficult to get boy friends but as you can see that isn’t Ann Marvel’s problem. Carol Jean Nye became engaged to Jessie Grossman. James Grossman can be seen working in the Market Basket Store every other week. Tim Marsh holds the record for being kicked out of class. Gerald Green found writing to English girls interesting this year. Dale Kenyon entertained the English class occasionally by reading letters which he received from English girls. These notations are not meant tohurt character, but to record memories of the grand class of 1954. We sincerely hope that our Alma Mater is as proud of us as we are of it. Like any other class we have a class debt to pay. This yearbook is, naturally, a part of our debt. In order to pay this debt we have sold magazines, puf on a play, a square dance, had a bake sale, had a refreshment stand at the school fair, and we are also looking forward to the Senior Ball, Class Banquet and Senior dinners to raise money.
